1.1 History

So, basically, we don't know that much on anything besides understanding it's really complex and difficult to figure out.

The answer is 42, guys.

I highly recommend the book "We Have No Idea" by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whitesom. Great explanations of what we know about the universe (with hilarious comic illustrations) and a profound message of just how much we don't know.

Tide goes in, tide goes out... You can't explain that.

Copernicus deserves a mention. Galileo's problems resulted (in part) from him being a proponent of Copernicism after the church had declared it heresy.

Heliocentrism was suggested by Copernicus and Galileo built on that, including developing physics to the point where he couldn't believe otherwise.

And gravitational stuff. We kinda know it does it, but not how to do anything about it.

I can't wrap my head around time being anything other than the measurement of movement, and until someone can prove otherwise, that's where I'll be.

I think high level degree holders know a lot more than the average man thinks we know, in fact I doubt the majority of people even know US High school level stuff like that we've discovered a gravitational constant and about the inverse square law as it applies to gravity.

I think we got the fast stuff under control (special relativity), when you mix it it with like small stuff (quantum field theory), and I guess big stuff (general relativity), it is also OK, but mixing it with anything more than that causes a problem.

This is from science abridged beyond the point of usefulness right? I have that book.

Edit: yes it is

Shit's on fire, yo. But does that fire only produce positive vibes or are there like 90% bad vibes, you know, bro?

Can't explain better than this🤯 Repost in !science_memes@mander.xyz

Also half magnet stuff is still AWOL

I have been thinking that is impossible for ANYTHING to understand EVERYTHING. Because ANYTHING will always be a part of EVERYTHING, and you need EVERYTHING to understand EVERYTHING.

Any system will always be a sub-system of some other system.

Also I've been thinking about something I read: "The more close or deep we see, the more it seems to be nothing there". I think it was related to subatomic particles, which seems to be just fields of energy instead of matter or something like that.

I'd appreciate if someone wants to share a few comments or thoughts about this with me.
